Honey Butter Pull Apart Rolls

Okay, I made these tonight for my hubbies birthday and YUM!  I love how they look and taste.  The butter and honey is slathered in and on them before you bake them.  I also thought these were much easier than they look, bonus when bringing a dish to someone's house!  I will be making these little gems for years to come!  Give them a go sometime soon...

Honey Butter Pull Apart Rolls

1-1/2 cups hot water {as hot as you can get it out of the tap.}

1 Tbsp. active dry yeast

2 Tbsp. sugar

2 Tbsp. vegetable oil

1 tsp. salt

3-1/2 to 4 cups bread flour {or all-purpose flour is fine)

3/8 cup (3/4 stick) salted butter, melted

3 Tbsp. honey

3/4 tsp. salt


*Note: I did this in my stand mixture with my dough hook and it was the easiest thing ever. Hand mixing should work well too, but I highly recommend it in a stand mixer if you have one!*


Spray a large bowl with cooking spray; set aside.

In a small bowl, mix together water, yeast, and sugar; let stand until frothy, about 5 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine the oil, salt, 2 cups of flour, and the yeast mixture until well combined.

Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough has pulled away from the sides of the bowl and is no longer sticky.

Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until elastic, about 8 minutes.

Place the dough in the greased bowl and cover with a damp cloth; let rise in a warm place until doubled in size.

After doubled, punch down dough and lay on floured surface.

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Roll dough out until about 20 inches by 12 inches.

In a small bowl, combine butter, honey, and salt.

Brush dough with half of the butter mixture.

With a pizza cutter, cut dough lengthwise into sixths and crosswise into twelfths.

Make stacks of 4 dough squares and place each stack into a greased muffin tin cup.

Brush with the remaining butter mixture.

Bake for 13-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Serve warm.
